  1. What I am missing is how worth is truly valued. Instagram, has 0 physical assets, it is all IP, and at that, it is IP that is old and has been done countless times over. How can a company like that be worth 1 Billion Dollars? The company I work for in Alaska is the Incumbent Phone Carrier up here. We have 2 Large Fiber Runs connecting Alaska to the Lower48, and we are only worth $730 Million. They don't even charge for their service. Where does their Revenue come from? It is back to the .com bubble again on the market.
  2. 1 Billion Dollars for an App, is extremely crazy. The guy who started it, is said to be getting close to 400 Million Dollars out of the deal, some 27 year old kid. I would venture to guess Facebook is buying this to kill it eventually. As all great companies do.
  3. I can't believe Facbook spent 1 Billion dollar on buying Instagram....
  4. http://therealgeorgezimmerman.com/ Site is hit or miss with connectivity. I am sure someone is trying to DDoS it.
  5. How old is he? Where did you get him from?
  6. What about this coupled with the iPad3 WiFi issues now?
  7. Will have to upload them from home. At work right now. You should look into buying a Fila pup then. It is a shit ton of work, but I love my Fila. I don't know if I will own another breed ever again. That is very nice that you rescue dogs like that. It is a great thing to do. I have fostered many dogs, but my 3 owned dogs we bought as puppies. edit: Went to the breeders site and found the photo the breeder took of him http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/kshymkiw/184.jpg
  8. I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a dog. I would never buy a mixed breed Fila Brasileiro. I want the dog for what it was bred for. Just the same if I wanted to pure Bloodhound for actual tracking. I would want the most pure and best qualities for tracking. Does that mean his health quality is the best, no. His quality of what I want out of him is the best.
  9. For the reason of not being able to Show the Dogs or Register them. Sorry if I seemed unclear in what I said. I understand not everyone breeds dogs to be shown. If you aren't looking for a show dog, go snatch up a shelter dog that could use a good home.
  10. What did I say about it? Outside of of not pure breeding, means you can't show the dog.
  11. Apple just released online patches, and I am assuming most Appletards have auto updates setup to just go. Don't know how many people would need to take their Mac in for a simple patch to be applied to Java.
  12. Very true. Do we all think this will be a more common thing as MAC's take a larger share of the marketplace?
  13. Plenty of healthy pets at shelters.
  14. I can agree that pure breed dogs run bigger risks of medical issues. What I can't agree with is the thought of breeding just to breed. There are plenty enough dogs being put down every day at shelters. Hence back to what I said first. If he was breeding pure show quality APBT's, I have 0 issue with that. Mixing a breed, and breeding to just breed is not what I would like to see. There are plenty of dogs who are needlessly put down every day because of this exact practice.
  15. I have no doubt he CAN breed dogs.. There is enough on the internet to be able to let anyone do it. My issue comes with the mixing of breeds. You are basically breeding for what reason at that point? Breeding, just to breed is what we need less of.
  16. FWIW, not that I am close to enough to breed with, but I have 2 males. I have a Razors Edge Tri-Registered APBT, and a Registered Fila Brasileiro. Both are fixed on top of that though.
  17. Yes it is. I have had 3 litters of puppies in my life. It is a MASSIVE undertaking. Building a suitable welping box for the bitch. Helping her deliver the pups. Sometimes cutting the sack open if she can't do it. Cleaning up all the nastiness of birthing. Then you have a minimum of 8 weeks of having to take care of 8-13 puppies. It is a nightmare.
  18. Every breeder has to start somewhere. My issue would be breeding the dog outside of it's breed to begin with. That means the pups won't be registered or be able to be shown. Essentially a "back yard" breeding, which is honestly what we need less of in this world. If you were breeding it with other Registered APBT's for the purpose of producing show quality APBT's, I would have no problem with it.
  19. I agree with you. But is this a mainstream enough issue to alert your average user of an OSX product? I heard this on the local news, that is the only way I heard it.
  20. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/over-600000-macs-infected-with-flashback-trojan/11345 Simply put, over 600,000 MAC's are/were infected with a Trojan that made use of a Java exploit in OSX. It took Apple 2 Months to release a patch for Java, to prevent this. Does this hurt Apples Image as a "safe" computing device?

    Telescopes

    Surprisingly a decent amount. It takes some time. You need a night were you will have 4-5 hours of clear sky. http://stargazerslounge.com/attachments/imaging-planetary/82156d1331563826-planetary-imaging-showcase-2011-jupiter.jpg Celestron 9.25" scope took this one. Biggest thing for good images of planets, is to have a super sturdy, and stable tripod.
  22. Most Definately seems to go against what witnesses were saying, and what he said. The police said he received medical attention at the scene, but one would will still think he would show signs oh being in some sort of physical altercation. Here is what the police report says: The back of his head in this video, doesn't seem to even show signs of being lacerated at all.

    Telescopes

    I bought a mid range scope (~300 bucks), and have been working on connecting it to my laptop and taking images of different stars/planets. Up here in AK, it is extremely easy to see everything. Have been looking really heavy and Venus and Jupiter the last 2-3 weeks.
  24. Canada would rape you overnight on taxes.
  25. Of course you can. But as most 'night of' things it is always easiest to blame the guy who said he shot him. Once you give it time to pan out and witnesses come forward, it is much better. The crucial gap may never be filled in, since only 2 people saw it, and one of them is no longer alive. What would be interesting to see is during the autopsy, did they note any brusing on the face of Martin, to indicate Zimmerman punched him?
